Matrix-element Corrections to Parton Shower Simulation of Deep Inelastic Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the need to supplement angular-ordered parton showers with a hard matrix element correction, to obtain a complete description of nal states in deep inelastic scattering. This has recently been implemented in the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator, and we show the results.

Matrix-Element Corrections to Parton Shower Simulations for Higgs Hadroproduction
We implement matrix-element corrections to HERWIG parton shower simulations for Standard Model Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. We study the Higgs transverse momentum distribution and compare different versions of HERWIG and resummed calculations. The HERWIG results exhibit a remarkable improvement as many more events are generated at large transverse momentum after the inclusion of ...
متن کاملExamination of higher-order twist contributions in parity-violating deep-inelastic electron-deuteron scattering
We show that parity-violating deep-inelastic scattering (PVDIS) of longitudinally polarized electrons from deuterium can in principle be a relatively clean probe of higher twist quark-quark correlations beyond the parton model. As first observed by Bjorken and Wolfenstein, the dominant contribution to the electron polarization asymmetry, proportional to the axial vector electron coupling, recei...
متن کاملA study on Matrix Element corrections in inclusive Z/γ production at LHC as implemented in PYTHIA, HERWIG, AlpGen and SHERPA
We study Matrix Element corrections as implemented in four popular event generators for hadron collisions. We compare PYTHIA, HERWIG, AlpGen and SHERPA in the Z/γ inclusive production at LHC. PYTHIA and HERWIG are able to correct the first emission from the shower taking the Matrix Element calculation for one additional parton into account. SHERPA and AlpGen are able to take into account Matrix...
متن کاملResolved Photons and Bfkl-type Signatures in Deep Inelastic Scattering
The concept of resolved virtual photons in addition to direct deep inelastic ep scattering is used to simulate the 2 + 1 jet-rate and the forward jet cross section, which cannot be described by direct LO/NLO processes. With standard DGLAP evolution of the parton densities of the virtual photon and the proton the HERA data can be described, provided a sufficiently large scale for the hard scatte...
متن کاملMatrix-Element Corrections to Parton Shower Algorithms
We discuss two ways in which parton shower algorithms can be supplemented by matrix-element corrections to ensure the correct hard limit: by using complementary phase-space regions, or by modifying the shower itself. In the former case, existing algorithms are self-consistent only if the total correction is small. In the latter case, existing algorithms are never self-consistent, a problem that...
